I can't lie, I'm feeling a mixture of emotions. I was finally approved by my insurance company and my surgery was scheduled for January 28th. I'm hoping the next month goes by quickly and the nerves settle down. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas.

We remember feeling the same. Somehow the time will be over before you know it. Just read and study, get your Vitamins purchased, get your little bag ready for the hospital, and keep yourself busy. My husband was told there could bad problems because of his weight, diabetes, blood pressure, sleep apnea, etc, and he carried a worried look for two months - making me think he did not want the surgery. I kept questioning him. He wanted it. Today we are both 1 month post op and almost 1 month post op, and doing great. The surgery was 10 times easier than we expected. Do not read the scary posts here, focus on the positives. This is a wonderful tool to learn everything you need to know from others as you make this journey. Merry Christmas!

Congrats on your approval, I had my Sleeve done on July 29,13. I was scard to death I was having uncontrolled blood sugar, extremly high trglicerides, my blood pressure was high, I have to sleep with a cpap. I have lost a total of 69 lbs. Im under 200 lbs. I was on 3 different insulins now I take one long acting, and every once in a while I take Humalog sliding scale. I hope as I lose the weght I will be able to get off all the insulin. Just remember drink every 10 min. after surgery and up and walking that night after surgery. Very important drink lots of fluids.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
